Color defines your bedroom's vibe, its 'feel' better than any single piece of decor you can add to your space. This bedding set, with its neon-light affect paints its own picture of energy that never sleeps.

Starting with such a strong element as this bedding, makes the rest of your decorating venture easy as you won't need too much else in your girl's bedroom.

Highly Visual Orange Camo Bedding

Going Your Own Way of the Outdoors with Camo Bedding Sets

The camo design is amazingly versatile and will suit any bona fide tomboy. Easy to work with, camouflage can be paired up with any color and brightness ~ including neon. I was happy to see the orange/camo combination as well as the other color choices available.

You'll have the option to go funky or literal with a hunting or lodge look, depending on your girl's taste for adventure. That's the real beauty of camo: create your own sense of adventure and coolness. Camo can also change face with a quick change-out of accessories; you won't have to toss everything. I can recall seeing 'one of everything' in camo, from kittens to tanks. Go your own way with camo and have fun.

Other broken instruments or old signs make great wall art, too. I like unconventional pieces on the wall; just about anything can be a decoration if you position it on your wall, declaring it art. Now, that's easy.

These bedding sets have the 'vibe' look of equalizers and lights moving with bass sound waves.

Seeing Things in Black and White Nearly Every Tween or Teen Goes Through an 'Everything Black' Phase

Bedding for Tomboys Who Love the Drama of Black

Oh boy, do I remember my 'everything black' phase; it lasted quite awhile,. Had my parents been the decorator I am, I truly believe they would have had a major coronary meltdown.

If you've a tomboy that can relate to my love for the mysterious and drama only black can satisfy, don't fret; it's OK to indulge your girl--it's only color, after all and like most any phase, this too shall pass.

Here's a few options in black bedding for your tomboy to add her favorite accessories and wall art to without a mishmash of 'what?!'

Black to decor is to blue jeans to fashion; you can pair anything with either. Too, black can transform into any number of themes: from musical to Mickey Mouse.

Much like black, solid-colored bedding like these two comforter sets will afford you far more freedom with your decor options with accessories and wall art. Too, should your tomboy awake with a new perspective on the world, as I did, solid bedding can meld into a new, major redo.

I would pair up these bedding sets with patterned throw pillows that are highly visual like the chevron (zig zag) pattern or any tween or teen themed faves.

With solid bed sets, you have your freedom with window treatments, too. I love sheer panels; they're oh-so cheap, come in a host of fun hues and you'll find a pair to work with your tomboy's taste.

Tomboy-Style Colorful Graffiti Bedding

Totally Cool & Oh, So Tomboy: Urban Graffiti Bedding

You can opt for the cityscape bedding design like I talked about earlier or you can go for the less-obvious, urban look. With this bedding having the graffiti design that's certainly suggestive of the streets of uptown, you can introduce other graffiti and cityscape art forms quite successfully.

I'll include a few ideas for wall art below to give you an idea of how this bedding pairs up well with the long-survived art form.

Introduce One Contrasting Color to Your Tomboy Genre

Budget-Friendly Graffiti Bedding for Tomboy Tweens and Teens

Add Contrast to Your Bedroom's Color Palette

Adding one accent hue like illustrated with this charcoal grey comforter set with its yellow contrasting tone will give you a wealth of other options for wall art and accessories.

Add a yellow shag rug or yellow accent pillows for depth and that all-important layering you've heard so much about. With bedrooms, adding dimension is so important to the warmth every relaxing space needs.

Blue Bedding with an Extra Boost of Color

Working with White Walls

I love it when I'm able to find just the 'right-on' element for whatever theme I'm working on.

Either of these graffiti-style or black and grey comforters will make an ideal power-packed focal point while defining your girl as being one proud tomboy.

The key to wall colors you'd rather not have, is to use bedding that grabs (ie: HOGS) all the attention upon walking in the bedroom. If you've white walls that you can't be painted just yet, the striking design of these bedding pieces will capture the eye quite readily, and the admirer won't notice those wan, white walls.

With the blue and white bed set, consider using bright white pillows and a white area rug if you've hardwood floors.

If you haven't stolen the eye yet after using these tips, use loud wall decals and/or posters that are colorful and you'll have the balance of plain and powerful you need.

Wall Art on the Cheap

Tomboy Spin on "Keep Calm" Wall Art

Posters as wall art are a great short-term investment; they're just right for this year's decorating and can easily and cheaply be replaced come the next fad.

I'm forever advising getting those cheap poster frames from big-box craft stores, as they almost always have weekly coupons for as much as half off. If you get the 36" x 24" standard size frames, it's your best bet. Most posters are available in this size, so you can simply pop your art in and out of the frame ~ easy-peasy!

This cool poster puts a tomboy spin on the "Keep Calm . . . " wall art. The versatile blue is ideal for the bedding sets above but will look right at home with many the other genres of comforters I've featured here.
